Is it better than Prozac in terms of sexual side effects? I am bit anxious about this, although I know everyone has different experience in terms of side effects.
Fluvoxamine - how is the side effect profile of this medicine?

The two medications both list possible sexual side effects but just because you have problems on one doesn't necessarily mean you will on another. The percentages are nearly the same for both medications but both are actually quite low.
Fluvoxamine (Luvox)
"Common (1% to 10% of users): Abnormal female sexual function, abnormal male sexual function, delayed ejaculation, impotence, menorrhagia, polyuria, urinary frequency, urinary retention, urinary tract infection"
Prozac (fluoxetine)
"Very Common (10% or more of users): Decreased libido/loss of libido (up to 11%)
Common (1% to 10% of users): Abnormal ejaculation/ejaculation disorder, dysmenorrhea, erectile dysfunction, gynecological bleeding, impotence, micturition disorder, urinary frequency"
Best regards and good luck to you.
